I'm sure that you know bloggers like my Mom. Mom can blog, but she requires a lot of coaching.

Between the technical skill levels which my mom has, and that of you (or me), come a lot of people. Some bloggers will create beautiful blogs (way better than this one), but publish them to BlogSpot only. Other bloggers will want more, and some will setup a Google custom domain.
Some bloggers will setup their custom domain, and will see an old friend (not)

I just checked out your account, and it looks like you may need to change a few settings within your Apps account to enable your custom domain. Nitecruzr, who replied earlier in this thread, has made a nice guide for the steps needed to take...

Here we see the implication that the MCD form can't fix all corruption problems in the Blogger database, even if the domain in question has properly setup DNS (which, it does).

AntiPopBlog.com. 1800 IN A 216.239.32.21
AntiPopBlog.com. 1800 IN A 216.239.34.21
AntiPopBlog.com. 1800 IN A 216.239.36.21
AntiPopBlog.com. 1800 IN A 216.239.38.21
www.AntiPopBlog.com. 1800 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

And there is another limitation here, to point out the obvious. The MCD form produces a task list for humans. Resetting broken pointers in the Blogger database starts with the people in Blogger Support. Besides MCD form processing, Blogger Support staff has a few other miscellaneous duties.

Spam blog review.

Spam blog re review.

Blogger development.

They may not be processing the form daily, or even weekly, some months. How long do you wish to get more complaints from your readers?
